Early toyotas with late model OEM wheels

[Sandman434]

Back spacing on those newer wheels is too deep for a solid axle truck. They won't fit without a spacer. They might be OK on an ifs truck

This would be assuming one that had spacers or the front IFS wheel hub conversion that widened the front axle to use wheels with a different backspacing. I’ve seen examples using wheels from the 89-95 pickups but not many later than that.

ifs hubs give plenty of clearance on a SA for these wheels.
you might be able to fit them without ifs hubs if you're using hy-steer

Hey fellas, I always cruise the local craigslist and see newer toyota OEM wheels and tire packages up for sale.
They are mostly from people with newer trucks/SUVs that upgrade to bigger tires or aftermarket wheels.

Sometimes a stumble across a really nice set for a decent price, but wonder what they would look like on my older truck and if they were a direct fit or not.

I thought it would be a good FAQ thread to start up a gallery of older toyotas with newer updated OEM wheels.

Post up what you have on your rig, or have seen around town.
please include as much info as you can including year and model toyota the newer wheels came from and if you had to do anything special to bolt them up (ie. wheel spacers, or buy a different type of lug nuts, etc..)

I'll start with a couple favorites that i have found while cruising the net.

Do Hi-Steer arms have even worse Akerman? The OEM steering arms are bad enough.

These are 15x8, ~4"BS on OEM SA hubs with stock steering arms (RS mod'd for old school cross-over):

A 17" wheel *might* clear.......

Those look good! Are they 16" or 17" wheels?

These are 17s. Tires are 35x10.5 SXIIs

If you can use 17s the tire selection seems to be much better, from my suppliers anyway.
